Stage layout for 'Drumming'

In a special collaboration with Monday Evening Concerts, the Getty Museum is thrilled to present Steve Reich's 1971 composition Drumming. A masterpiece of late-20th-century minimalist music, Drumming is a study in percussion with layers of repeated patterns played on bongos, marimbas, and glockenspiels, with piccolo and voice. Experience the cascading passages of Reich's iconic work as Jonathan Hepfer directs a unique presentation of this world-renowned composer, set among the architecture and vistas of the Getty's plaza at sunset. Limited chairs and cushions will be available along with floor seating.

Monday Evening Concerts is thrilled to present a special summer program in collaboration with Hauser & Wirth in the Arts District. The program, which will be presented twice (at 7pm and 9pm) in the South Gallery and Education Loft of Hauser & Wirth on Monday, July 29, will take place in dialogue with the paintings of the Argentine master Guillermo Kuitca in the artist's first major Los Angeles exhibition. The program presented by MEC focuses on four iconoclastic composers who each presented the history of Western classical music with a major shift of paradigm. Images and sounds are at first clear, then blurred, then refracted, then evaporated. 

This event is now sold out. 

Date and Time: Monday, July 29, 2019 | 7pm and 9pm
Location: Hauser & Wirth | 901-909 E 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90013
